Abstract

Time and frequency domain properties of measured pressure coefficients were compared to those predicted by Q-S theory on Texas Tech experimental building. The results showed explicitly that Q-S theory did not adequately predict surface pressures particularly in those areas where corner vortices are produced. The failure of this theory must be ascribed to the fact that surface pressures in these regions are governed by the presence and proximity of shear layer vortices and to a lesser degree by the large scale velocity fluctuations.
